Outlook Express

[Pyxis]

I have two Win2k pc's on a network. They are connected to the internet via a Netgear RT314 router. Is it possible for me to have Outlook Express synchronized on both pc's. I want to have both computer have the same email on them.

I haven't tried this before, but it might work.
Goto Tools > Options > Maintenance, use the same "Store Folder". Be sure to backup those files just in case it doesn't work or you mess up.

Outlook express does not let you store email's on a network drive or anything like that. It has to be a local drive.

THen set computer #1 to leave the messages on the mail server, and set computer #2 to remove them. Just be sure to read the mail on computer #1 first.

You can set 'em both to leave the mail on the server, then do an auto-delete after a month or so (whatever time period is good for you). OR lust leave 'em and manually kill 'em when you get some free time.

FWIW

The way I do it pretty much like the above mentioned. The computer I use most often, I have the settings &quot;leave mail on server,&quot; activated. This way, I'm sure that when I check on the other computer (usually after a couple days or so) it will have all email. Also, check the remove from server email computer immediately after you check on your leave on server computer. This way, you're pretty much guaranteed that it wouln't remove anything the other doesn't have.

This might be a little confusing, but it works.
